[openFATE 306444] change parted to use Hardware suggested sectors per track

Feature changed by: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) Feature #306444, revision 2 Title: change parted to use Hardware suggested sectors per track - openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed + openSUSE-11.2: Duplicate of #306443 Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dean Giles (dgiles) Description: parted creates partitions which are automatically assigned 63 sectors per track. Hardware, such as HP raid devices, advertise that they want 32 sectors per track. It advertises that through ioctl HDIO_GETGEO. fdisk can utilize the hardware reported sectors per track. parted needs to be changed to do the same. See bug # 501152. -   Dean -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306444
